While most of us have embraced the sunny side, it seems that some are still clinging to the darker than dark androgyny made staple by the likes of Gareth Pugh and Rad Hourani for dear life. That being said, some do it better than others and Sid Neigum definitely fell into the “better” category in his LG debut. Whereas Heather Lawton⎯who showed later on the same day⎯didn’t do much to expand on downtown staples of black leather leggings and beat up motocross, Neigum breathed new life into the skin with his shark-finlike triangles built into the backsides of jackets and sleekly defined shoulders on blazers. Currently studying at New York’s F.I.T, Neigum already has a kind of reputation in the works after showing at fashion weeks in Edmonton and Vancouver. With his strong eye for the details, we’ll place bets on this designer growing leaps and bounds by next season.
